Be a Light Campaign
HELP SPREAD THE LIGHT TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN
Support The Paramount by purchasing a $10.00 button today!
What is the first thing you think of when you think of The Paramount Theater? Most people will say it is the lights of the Marquee and the Blade. Can you imagine the Downtown Mall without those beautiful lights shining? Over the years, the Theater’s lights have become the iconic beacon of Charlottesville. The COVID-19 public health crisis has been devastating for many, including our local historic Paramount Theater. We have experienced a 96% decrease in our event revenue. Last year at this time, the Theater had earned just under $850,000 in gross event revenue. Today we sit at a total of $33,000 event revenue. Truly, without donor support, The Paramount Theater’s doors could not remain open through or after this public health crisis.
We need your support now more than ever!
Purchase a $10.00 “BE A LIGHT” Button!
